Sorry i was having difficulties putting them both in the same post

 

[willtang3000]

i like the after but a few plants such as java fern would look nice in there good job

Nah, IMO java ferns don't look very nice, get some water sprite and plant it, just a nice thick forrest of something in one of the corners will look nice.

[cane76]

much better i like empty looking tanks.few plants and job done

 

[acetennis2002]

any ideas or suggestions on what to put in it fish or plant wise?

 

[geezer]

if you don't have all the stuff needed for plants then you wanna start off with easy growers that don't require much light.

polysperma
amazon sword
java moss
java fern
some crypts

the moss could grow over some of the wood n cave stuff. most fish like plants so it would be cool.

if you have less than 1 WPG (watts per gallon) then you don't need to dose ferts or add co2 stuff

you may need a weeny bit more substrate. it's a big size tank which is great

good luck!

[ridewake210]

whoa. wat a change my friend. i also do recomend adding plants. i suggest maybe 2 or 3 java ferns also. might want to go ahead and make up a DIY CO2 system or guy buy one like i did. i run 3 of the sotre baught(dont have box enar me so i dunno brand) CO2 systems on my 55g and a DIY system on my 75g

 

[acetennis2002]

Added a few plants what do ya think a little better?

 

[J.H]

I think the plants would look beter all together in a corner or going along the back of the tank. Maybe some valis for the back.

Looking good
